"At first I was afraid that I was petrified.."

A few days ago I phoned the DKMS to ask them a few things.
I had to wait a few minutes.
Guess which song they played while I hold the line:

"I will survive" by Gloria Gaynor.

Made me smile.

Jamaica - Short and entertaining

So awesome, makes me wanna dance around all the time!

That happened to me so often..

Umm..HELP?

I was driving around with a nurse today who said when she hurt herself with the (used!!) insuline-injection needle of a patient:
"Oh well.. That happened to me so often already.."

Well, I guess she should be more careful or something..
People are strange!

Just one more, I promise!

A last quote from "The Thief of Time" by T. Pratchett:

"Since centuries Soto (a monk) believed in the holiness of all life and the eventually valuelessness of  violence, but his own personal precondition was:

"But not the hair. No one ever touches my hair, get it?"

Your weekly prescription by Dr. Tiny

WHOA! I seriously love this house. The pool! And you can sit in your living room watching all the flirty mermaids swim along! This is probably not affordable in 10 million years but hey..

So if your are not able to live in a house like this aforementioned one, maybe it will be nice to go to this waterpark in Beijing instead.

I want... I need Very clever, maybe this will become a new category for my blog-baby!

  J. BIEBZ - U SMILE 800% SLOWER by Shamantis

Somebody slowed down "U smile" by Justin Bieber about 800% and the result is pretty Sigur Ròs like,  very relaxed and 35 minutes long :D Heard it while baking sweet, sugary treats for my lovely Nurseys.

Here is the original if you are interested (it's crap believe me)


Oh by the way: Thank you for making this song staying stuck in my head!

Rules!

B.F and I were joking about the behaviour of patients and their relatives a while ago and made up some "rules" so on Thursday I deceided to write them down. My classmates laughed their ass off and said: "Oh well.. this is so true.."

So there you go:

Dear patients, dear relatives!
To make your and our day better here are some pretty easy rules:

1. If you have a hospitalisation, we will keep you here. It is not possible to give you some drugs and drive you home.
2. No, we don't pay you the cab if you are leaving against the advice  of the doc.
3. If you come into the hospital upright and you walk totally easily, we will not drive you to the ward with a wheelchair. 
4. Of course you are not old. You can prove that by turning around one time in less than 20 steps.
5. If you don't want any blood tests, infusions, examinations etc... then why are you here?!
6. The doctor will not see you sooner if you ask us every 2 minutes. Please wait. We are not able to influence certain things.
7. I did not cook the food. Please don't blame me if it's cold/not enough/not tasty. 
8. Saying "Yes" or "No" if I ask you if you had digestion today is totally enough. 
9. The alarm is for emergencies. Opening the bottle for you, closing the window or fluffing your pillow up is not an emergency.
10. Dear relatives: I cannot help but react annoyed  if you ask "Well how is it going with my mother today?" Here are 40 patients, I've never seen you in my whole life and I have no fucking idea who your mother is!
11. Please ask the doctor if you have any questions about diagnoses, examinations or illnesses.  Trainees, apprentices and guys who work here because of the alternative civilian services may be a little bit overstrained. 
12. Please don't give us some urine or feces samples in our hands if we aren't wearing gloves.
13. Please don't ask aforementioned not qualified staffmembers what will be happening with you after the intake. We have no idea!
14. You are allowed to clean your nightstand before we are standing in front of you with the food-tray. These trays are pretty heavy!!

Thank you.

All that is left is taste.

This part inspired me to go to the chocolate room and buy some of the best, tastiest and most delicious chocolate I've ever eaten in my life. I'm not kidding.

Here are some photos I took:

Fleur de Sel

Fleur de Sel Part II (You can see the caramel filling..)

Peanut Caramel

Creme de Cacao

Raspberry/Thyme 

Hazelnutmougat

and here is the part from "The Thief of Time" which inspired me:

(Lady Myria LeJean talks to Susanne again)

"We...they...We gotta be stopped!"
"With chocolate?" Susanne asked.
"The sense of taste is new to us. New and strange.
We are without any protection when it comes to taste."
"But...chocolate?"
"A dry biscuit almost killed me." said her ladyship.
"Susanne, can you imagine how it feels to taste for the first time?
We created our physical bodies really good. Oh yes.
A whole lot of taste buds.
Even water tastes like wine. But with chocolate..
All thoughts come to an end.
All that is left is taste."
She sighed.
"I guess it is a wonderful way to die."

It is, indeed.
